Inventor: GRAHAM PAUL R
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: A tamper-indicating closure (24) of integrally molded plastic construction that
includes a base wall (30) having a peripheral skirt (34) with an internal thread (36) for affixing
the closure to the container finish (26). A tamper-indicating band (38) is connected to an edge
of the skirt by frangible bridges (40). A stop flange (42) extends from an edge of the band
remote from the skirt for abutment with a bead (44) on the container finish to inhibit removal of
the closure absent fracture of the frangible means. A plurality of circumferentially spaced
openings (60) extend radially through the skirt at a position between the frangible bridges and
the internal thread. These openings provide for ingress of cleansing solution during a washing
operation after the closure is applied to a container to flush any residue from between the tamper-indicating
band and the closure finish. Drain openings (52) are provided in the stop flange and/or
the tamper-indicating band to allow drainage of the flushing solution, and also to allow drainage
of any accumulated liquid in wet-finish applications.

Abstract: A flexible bellows (10), such as for protecting the end of a longitudinally movable
steering rack, has a hollow connector (20) mounted on it adjacent its larger diameter
fixing collar (14). The connector (20) enables a connection to be made from the interior
(26) of the bellows (10) through a similar connector on a second bellows covering the
opposite end of the rack and thus to the interior of the second bellows. As the rack moves
to and fro, compressing one bellows and expanding the other, the increased pressure in
the compressed bellows is automatically transferred to the expanded bellows. The
connector (20) is pre-produced, such as from relatively rigid material by a moulding
operation, and then placed in the mould which is used for producing the bellows (10). A
parison or preform of thermoplastics material is placed in the mould and then blown to
form the bellows. This operation forces some of the blown material of the parison or
preform into the open end (24A) of the connector (20), which at the same time secures
the connector to the bellows and forms an opening through the wall of the bellows to
connect the interior (26) of the bellows to the interior of the connector (20).

Abstract: The system uses statistical analysis of results in order to determine necessary timing of future tests during mfr. The procedure for testing electronic components includes subjecting the first terminals of the component to a given voltage on an initial date (Di), and measuring on a measurement date the value of the potential on second terminals of the component on a measurement date (Dm). This value is compared with acceptable limits in order to either accept to reject the component. The date of measurement is determined in the course of a learning phase, by means of a criteria applied to population of accepted components, by consideration of a statistical image of this population. The measurement data is adjusted in the course of an adjustment phase in the test procedure, according to the results which are obtained in the tests.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une molécule d'administration de médicament qui possède un groupe fonctionnel de ciblage, couplé à un groupe fonctionnel de cheminement et une molécule bioactive. Le groupe fonctionnel de ciblage se lie à un récepteur cellulaire sans éliciter un effet agoniste, et la liaison entraîne la fixation de la molécule d'administration de médicament dans la cellule. On peut employer les molécules d'administration de médicaments envisagées aux fins de traitement et de diagnostic. Un procédé de ciblage de manière sélective d'une cellule endothéliale consiste notamment à reconnaître que la présence ou l'absence de récepteurs de la somatostatine type II sur la cellule endothéliale est corrélée à la position proximale de la cellule endothéliale par rapport à une cellule anormale. Les cellules endothéliales à proximité de cellules anormales sont alors présentées avec un composé spécifique du récepteur de la somatostatine type II. Selon d'autres procédés, la présence d'un récepteur de la somatostatine type II sur une cellule endothéliale à proximité d'un tissu est corrélée à une maladie du tissu. Dans les phases ultérieures, les composés spécifiques du récepteur de la somatostatine type II sont administrés à la cellule endothéliale.

Abstract: An optical heterodyne detection system in accordance with an embodiment of the
invention includes two optical receivers (232 and 242) for separately measuring the
power of an input signal (202) and a local oscillator signal (206) before the signals are
combined. The measurements of the input signal and the local oscillator signal are
then utilized by a processor (216) to enhance the heterodyne signal to noise ratio by
removing the intensity noise contributed by the input signal and the local oscillator
signal. By measuring portions of the input signal power and the local oscillator signal
power and then subtracting out the scaled quantities from the photocurrent
measurement during signal processing, the signal to noise of the heterodyne signal is
improved beyond that which is accomplished by known balanced receivers.

Abstract: An automatic frequency control loop implemented by a digital signal
processor (14) down converts an IF signal carrier to a residual carrier within an allowed
range of frequencies by a down converter operation (16). A frequency detector (28)
detects any error frequency in the residual carrier with reference to a reference
frequency, such as 0 Hz, in order to shift the frequency of the residual carrier by a
shifter operation (20) which reduces the frequency error in the shifted signal. An
envelope detector operation (26) retrieves information from the residual carrier, and the
resulting signals are processed by a low pass filter operation (36) to reduce cross talk.

Software executing on a vehicle's computer can then cause one or more
applications that are associated with a vehicle computer to be modified in a
manner that changes their behavior. The behavior modification is based on the
current context or location of the vehicle and thus provides a context-specific or
location-specific user experience. The context or location can be ascertained
through the use of one or more hierarchical tree structures that comprises
individual nodes. Each node is associated with a context or location. The nodes
are traversable by the vehicle's software to ascertain a more complete context or
